If you appreciate "real" Chinese food, and you are not afraid of dark streets in a very old part of the city, you will enjoy Vancouver's Chinatown.
We found it dark and dirty, with quite a few shuttered businesses and abutting the very rough "skid row" section of town. This is not Disney - it is real Chinese. Several in...

we always like to visit China town in almost big cities when we travel to. China town in Vancouver was really a bad experience, there are not many tourist but alot of strange types of people running on streets, it is dirty around and it gives a bad feelings when we are on the way. Totally different as soon you...

We had good memories of visiting Chinatown in Vancouver from about 20 years ago as children so decided to take the kids there when we were back in Vancouver in July. It was nothing like we remembered it. Everything was so run down and we had to step around needles on the ground in numerous places. We were there just...

There is a very interesting side of Vancouver's Chinatown that travellers and even its local citizens know little of. If Dim Sum and a very fascinating historical tour of Vancouver's Chinatown is your cup of Chinese tea, then Judy Maxwell is your Go-to-Gal to contact. She will take you on a very informative two hours' day tour. Comfortable walking shoes...

There are also a couple interesting Asian malls worth checking out, such as Parker Place and Aberdeen. If...

For being one of the largest Chinatown's, this one is a bit of a disappointment. The garden is good. The shopping is ok. It's dirty and at times stinky. This section of town is better if you go earlier in the day. The shops close early and it's not the safest part of town to visit in the evening.

We arrived late in the day and many shops were closed. It is a rather depressed area as it was when I visited 15 years ago but there was very little activity and very few stores were even inhabited. It is worth a trip to stop by if you have time to see it but no need to spend much...
